Consumerium social club

Consumerium social club is just a name for all Consumerium developers, Consumerium end users, Consumerium researchers and Consumerium Governance Organization members who care to socialize in the opinion wiki or talk associated with content wiki.

Unlike on Disinfopedia or Wikipedia this will not be allowed to interfere with sysop decisions and the Consumerium buying signal which affects real helpless living things real body and life of real communities not foolish virtual/disposable chat clubs.

Naming the CSC this helps remind people that their concerns or annoyances, say with trolls, are very petty compared with what they are trying to protect. If this name is changed it should be to something even more obviously social and with no authoritative integrity, like Consumerium dating service or Consumerium groupthinkers. It should never be called a "Consumerium Community" since it is this exact terminology which seems to trigger the worst sysop behaviour. Suddenly in order to keep themselves in charge they claim to "protect the community" by using tactics that would be only justified by protecting real bodies from real assaults.

Consider: would you allow someone running a political meeting to literally gag someone, and physically throw them out of the building, using some technology that no one else in the room had, with no particular process or criteria that the rest of the room agreed with completely? If you did, would you expect that conversation in that room would thereafter reflect people's real views or tend towards groupthink just to end the pointless (obviously some things have already been decided) meeting sooner or avoid further exclusion? Yet this is the exact behaviour that almost all sysops apply when they are given power.

This is also the exact behavoir of most meetings in the real world, there are just different socially accepted forms of enforcement.

The reason the above analogy is not applicable to an online forum such as a wiki is that there is no physical room online, you can't see the people involved, and you have no direct means of communicating with them either.

In the real world, any group of two or three people have the power to physically throw someone out of a building, as a result, people are generally more civil, and more apt to follow the established rules. People can directly comminicate, fight, argue, and be asked to leave.

Online it is a much more metaphysical experience, we are all imagining a place, this wiki, and we can push information into it with the power of our thought assisted by some technology. People are more apt to be disagreeable and rude because it is easier to do so and there is less consequence.

If people behaved in the real world how trolls behave online, they would be gagged and thrown out.

This is not to say the current sysop system is not without it's flaws, it simply remains to develop a better system.

See m:Internet Authority Disease, m:power structure and m:Wikipedia sociology for more on this problem and how it plays out on Wikipedia.
